Republicans Sweep Signals in State Returns Amid Turmoil
The Chicago Tribune notes a Republican majority in the Senate with 55 Republicans, 40 Democrats, and 1 Farmer-Laborite, plus a 4 vote edge over Democrats and La Follette in the chamber. In the House Republicans lead by about 35, while La Follette insurgents lose influence. Brookhart’s Iowa race shows a victory by plurality about 1,200 but possible contest over invalid ballots. Brookhart’s defection to La Follette cited as betrayal, sparking party outrage and a 300,000 vote swing to Steck, though not enough to overturn the ticket.
